What is it about?
Due to industrialization and urbanization, as humans continue to rely on fossil fuels, carbon dioxide (CO2) will inevitably be generated and result in an increase of Global Warming Gases (GWGs). However, their prospect is misted up because of the environmental and economic intimidation posed by probable climate shift, generally called it as the “green house effect”.

Why is it important?
The biological CO2 sequestration has significant advantage, since increasing atmospheric CO2 level supports productivity and overall storage capacity of the natural system
Perspectives
These studies lead to infer the carbon dioxide mitigation strategies by bacteria. Microbes can sequester CO2 by four well know autotrophic pathways with few common steps and enzymes in the pathways. Along with CO2 sequestration, the studies should also be extended to production of biomaterials such as biodiesel, bioplastics, EPS and biosurfactants and its application.
